Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2026

Debate

English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill

Contribution

The Government are committed to supporting the UK’s music industry as part of our industrial strategy. At my meeting with the Music Venue Trust yesterday, it clearly highlighted that problems with the music industry are many and various. The agent of change is one of them, but there is often more than one issue when music venues are in trouble. We will soon publish a music plan drawing together all that the Government are doing to support the music industry. That includes a £30 million music growth package over three years from 2026 to support domestic growth, talent development and music exports.
